EBay has hired away Eric Brill, the Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) executive who has led the company’s adCenter Labs, which is tasked with incubating new advertising technologies (We featured some of the projects underway at adCenter Labs in this post from earlier this year). At EBay, Brill will head up the company’s research Labs as VP of research and applied science. Brill is an expert in natural language processing, and EBay says he will be a “huge asset as we continue to improve our ability to determine customer intent and get the right products in front of the right buyer at exactly the right moment.”
Brill is the second Microsoft online executive to head to EBay in recent months. Hugh Williams, a Microsoft search development manager, joined Ebay in late June to head up the e-commerce company’s search development team. We’ve reached out to Microsoft for additional details and will update when we hear back. Release.
